Get Connected

Inspire believes in The Church, the people of God across the world, and we also believe in The Church, a local organization of God’s people worshiping together. God calls us to fellowship and growth through faithful involvement within a church body. We are thankful to have sponsoring churches of INSPIRE . In addition to Bible Based services of worship and teaching, here are some outreaches we know of that are offered by our sponsoring churches.
